Mobility-friendly
Elegant Naples, on smooth ground.
The city's most elegant scenery, planned to minimize rough terrain and long transfers.
Design This TripNaples is unusually friendly for flat, smooth-ground travel. The Ritz-Carlton Naples pairs well: a single Gulf-front property with elevators, accessible rooms, valet, beach wheelchairs, and a level boardwalk to the sand, which minimizes transfers and rough terrain.
Big views without rough trails
For smooth-terrain sightseeing, the paved paths of the Naples Botanical Garden, the level boardwalk at Clam Pass, and a flat stroll down Fifth Avenue South deliver the city's best scenery without effort. Several yacht and cruise operators at Tin City and the Bayfront offer boarding assistance for guests who can transfer.
We confirm room and bathroom layouts in advance, arrange beach wheelchairs and equipment, and choose the experiences and routes that keep the trip elegant and the ground smooth.
